Delicious drones

The federal government doesn't really know what to do with drones yet. While it takes its time figuring out what should and shouldn't be allowed to fly about, companies like Amazon, Google, Wal-Mart and even Domino's are being forced to ground the various drone delivery plans they've developed.

There is one exception. The FAA has recently agreed to allow Google's parent company, Alphabet, to drone-deliver hot Chipotle burritos to students at the campus of Virginia Tech later this month.

"How is this allowed?!" says Amazon (probably)

Bloomberg and Wall Street Journal reports say that Alphabet's Project Wing drones will transport burritos from a Chipotle truck hundreds of feet to an on-campus spot where hungry students will be lined up (extra guac, please).

The largest government-sanctioned drone delivery trial yet will happen on FAA-approved grounds. The aircrafts will remain in sight of pilots who can take control if need be.

Alphabet hopes the few-week-long program will suss out the viability of delivering hot meals by drone (because no one likes a cold burrito). Chipotle, the volunteering food provider, is just going along for the ride (literally).

"It's the first time that we're actually out there delivering stuff to people who want that stuff," Dave Vos, head of Alphabet's Project Wing, told Bloomberg.

What's next? Pizza? Yeah

Domino's, like Amazon, was not tapped by the FAA to test its drones in the United States. However, it's recently demonstrated its pizza-by-drone delivery program in New Zealand.

"It doesn't add up to deliver a two-kilogram package in a two-ton vehicle," Scott Bush, a general manager for Domino's, said of the company's foray into more nimble airborne "za" transport.

Amazon announced interest years ago in shipping orders by drone. With its Prime Now for restaurants, the Seattle company could eventually get into hot meal drone deliveries.
